 Nice propaganda piece for the tea party movement. Mar 05, 2010
There is much more to the Tea Party movement then the rightwing admits. Let's be honest, the tea party movement is a rightwing movement. Virtually no Obama voters are part of the movement and I don't believe there would be much tolerance to any on the left in it. The rightwing wants to kick out all moderates in the GOP, I don't see them wanting actual Democrats in their tea parties. Indeed, the tea partiers are pretty much (except for some actual libertarians) the same as the Christian right. In early 2010 the tea party movement saw an increase in activity that displayed increased connections to the Christian right. The Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN featured conservative religious speakers such as former Alabama Justice Roy Moore, Representative Michelle Bachmann, Joseph Farah, Rick Scarborough and Sarah Palin. Although Palin is considered a more mainstream individual she along with others on this list of speakers are known in part or in whole for their strong conservative religious activism. Farah is also known for his promotion of the birther movement which involves asking about Obama's supposed missing birth certificate. Moore had written as a justice in a case that gave custodial rights to an alleged abusive father over a lesbian mother, "homosexuality is "abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature's God upon which this Nation and our laws are predicated."
Then there is the tea party bias and hostility against many minorities. Former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo at the Tea Party convention in Nashville stated to applause, "People who could not even spell the word 'vote' or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House..his name is Barack Hussein Obama."
Look, this book is a piece of propaganda which wants to create in the imaginations of those not in the movement, that the tea partiers are just opposed to taxes but the movement is much more. It is heavy in the birthers and Obama is a secret Muslim crowd. It is heavy in the gays should be locked up and burn in hell crowd. Tea Partiers will of course say this is just a fringe wing of their movement. No, it's not. It's your movement.

 This is History! Feb 08, 2010
Once I got past the photo on the dust jacket and started reading, I was very impressed. Mr. O'Hara's in-depth knowledge of the most important movement in American history since the 1770's, is quite readable. Not only does he give the historical reasons for the movement, but, as one who has been involved for a while, I felt that he knew what he was talking about - something rare in journalism these days.
More than anyone else in print that I know of, Mr. O'Hara has a handle on the anger and frustration that Americans are feeling toward both major political parties for the extremely precarious fiscal position they've gotten us into. Fear for the future of our nation drives us to fight for liberty and justice for all, even those Americans who have yet to be born. For politicians, the tea parties are a force to be ignored at ones' own peril. Many on the left are trying to ridicule it into irrelevance, a la Alinski, not realizing that this nothing like the shallow, drugged up, make-love-not-war freak show of the 1960's. These tea partiers are mature, serious lovers of liberty, and they are the ones paying the bills in this country. They have every right and every reason to rebel against the looters in government who are stealing their children's futures.
With great wisdom, the author warns tea partiers of the dangers of putting personalities before principles. It is the timeless and powerful principles that give the tea parties moral power. Once corrupted by personalities, fighting for "fame" or "glory" or some other dubious power, their influence for good will be lost, or at least, weakened into ineffectiveness. To be truly effective, individuals and groups must maintain their integrity by subordinating their egos for the higher cause of regaining Constitutional government for future generations. Anyone who cannot get past the ego's desire for recognition is a potential cause for the downfall of the movement.
I think "A New American Tea Party" will be the historical record of this era when our great-grandchildren look back to find out what happened and why. I only wish Mr. O had chosen another photo for the book because this is a well-written, important book that deserves serious attention from all Americans!
If you like this book, I will suggest a great companion to it that is not as detailed or historical: Spread This Wealth (and Pass This Ammunition!) Why We Must, and How We Can Save America From Its Own Misguided Government. Spread This WealthThis one explains the moral, spiritual, and philosophical foundations for the Tea Party movement and the new libertarianism that will grow from it.

Behind the scenes insights on Tea Parties Jan 21, 2010
Ch 1: The Tea Parties - Discusses behind the scenes events that resulted in the large tea party protests on April 15th 2009.
Ch 2: How We Got Here Abandoning Principles and the People - Discusses lessons from Ronald Reagan, disappointments of Bush, the 1994 Almost-Revolution, and disappointments of the George W. Bush Big-Government administration, and the 2008 election of Obama.
Ch 3: The Whistling Teapot, The Financial Crisis, and the Bailout Nation - Discusses Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) as well as bailouts and corporate welfare.
Ch 4: The Political Class Reacts - Identifies ignorance of the political class and the misguided attempts of DHS to tag "Right Wing Extremism" as anti-government behavior that could include tea partiers. It also covers out-of-touch Nancy Pelosi references to an astro-turf movement.
Ch 5: The Media Strikes Back - Interesting observations of the Media Blackout followed by misinformation and sexual slurs (e.g. Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, and Keith Olbermann shows); reviews the absurdly racist accusations of Janeane Garofalo as well.
Ch 6: Radical Ideas: fiscal responsibility, individual liberty versus stimulus fraud and mythical job numbers - concludes with violations of the Constitution
Ch 7: Radical Tactics - Discussion on Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, ACORN, Unions, SEIU, and a culture of corruption. Correctly identifies that Tea Partiers are against bailouts and handouts.
Ch 8: The Teapot Boils over Healthcare, Takes Center Stage - Discusses town hall reactions to a "fishy" plan supported by White House Spin.
Ch 9: The Tea Party Manifesto - Emphasis on fiscal responsibility and limited government
Ch 10: Rules for Counter-radicals ... Asks why should we reward bad behavior. He places emphasis on roles of government as well as consistent principled action.
I give this book my highest rating of five stars. John O'Hara has a wonderfully entertaining writing style that is very easy to read and understand. Incumbent politicians and those who aspire to elected offices should read this book to understand the "common men and women" who make up the Tea Party movement. It is a terrific primer in current events. John, I am proud of you for telling it like it is! Great Job!

Great Read! Jan 20, 2010
A VERY IMPORTANT BOOK! If you are fed up with high taxes, ridiculous government spending, outlandish national debt, and the current radical policies and corruption that is facing our nation, this is a must read! O'Hara presents an engaging and thoughtful read of a movement that will change the political landscape of our nation. He skillfully articulates the principles of the tea party movement and the problems currently facing our country at the local, state, and national level. This book will inspire you to create change. We must get involved NOW and improve our nation!

A New Movement Jan 19, 2010
A new movement is rising up within America...a new awakening! It is not Democrat or Republican. It is made up of common people from all parties who are wondering where their country is headed. It is a movement that hopes to force all politicans to walk the walk and talk the talk! This book is well-written and explains some of our nation's past. It shows us the possibility of a more transparent government in our future and how to achieve it. It is a MUST read for all who are concerned about corruption in high places, want to hold our leaders to a higher standard, and perhaps, wish to enter local, state, or national public service, themselves. An inspiring book.
